Tapering
Trying to taper - went from 5 to 4.5 using DSNS method. Was fair with new shoulder discomfort. Tried to go to 4 and couldn't move without pain and so stiff. Went back to 5 and felt better. Been 2.5 years since diagnosis. Guess I'll stay at 5. See rheumy next month and she wants me off or on methotrexate

Running with psoriatic arthritis
My Mum Suffers really bad with psoriatic arthritis and after 1 run on Monday she is still really hurting. Does anyone on here have this and if so can you advise on any coping strategies? She had a strap on her knee and managed to run 40seconds each time before her knee became painful. I don’t want this

Second visit to Rheumatologist
Yesterday I saw the doctor for my second time. I told him I’ve fired my internist and moving on to a Physician’s Assistant in January. My sed rate and crp are in normal ranges on 15ml of prednisone but he know wants to see if I can move to 10ml of prednisone by alternating every other day 10 then 15ml

Thumbs!!
This is mostly arthritis but as PMR is also involved (shoulders and upper arms) I don't think I'm off-piste. I never thought about thumbs until I got really aggressive arthritis in them. For the last week I have been struggling to clean my teeth. whoever would have thought that cleaning teeth could

GOPO (rosehip)
Hi, been wondering whether to try rosehip for my spondylitis ( rare form of arthritis) but read this, so in case anybody else considering, thought I would add this found on my google search. So frustrating taking blood thinners when you need help with other health issues ( I take apixaban)
